Insurance companies won't pay for it despite the fact that it is frequently cheaper.

I'm out $1200 to prove it. Also, they had to bring in an RN from the next county because there were no RNs in my county to insert IVs. My local hospital is 5 minutes down the road. Next time I needed an infusion, I went down to out patient services, spent a boring 4 hours and saved $1200.
